running of the bulls
Spanish street chase
The running of the bulls is a traditional event in which people run through streets ahead of—or alongside—bulls that have been released to chase them.
The most famous occurs during Pamplona's San Fermín festival in Spain, where participants risk goring and trampling for the thrill: He got injured in the running of the bulls.
